Installation Tips

From antiX

Boot from iso on hard-disk

It is possible to boot and install from an antiX.iso file on hard-disk. You will need a spare partition on your hard drive and an existing grub menu (on livecd, floppy or hd).
This is sometimes known as booting fromiso.

The basic steps are as follows.

Create and format (if you don't already have one) a separate partition to boot fromiso. For antiX it needs only be 800MB in size. I use ext3 format.

Download antiX.iso file to a folder and extract to the same folder the vmlinuz and initrd.gz files.
